Chamber Chatter for the Week of December 4, 2013
Dec. 4, 2013: Why Buy Local: Virtue #5
With three weeks left before Christmas (!), it's time to remind the community of the many virtues of buying locally. Each week, we'll highlight a different incentive. Please keep all of these in mind as you make your buying decisions.
Virtue #5: People. When you support local, independent businesses, you support local, independent people. Get to know your local merchant and you'll get to know a neighbor--often a single proprietor or a family-owned business. Support a local business and you'll help a Westchester-based family send their kids to college, pay off their mortgage, and--get this--spend their own money locally. These are people who care about and support your community. It's mutual.
